We know today's challenging economic climate prompts all companies to scrutinize investments in travel to industry events. To help you justify your attendance to TMC’s 2025 Fall Meeting, we've prepared a justification letter you can download and use to demonstrate to your supervisor the value that attending a TMC meeting will provide your organization.
The letter (provided in Microsoft Word format for easy editing) helps itemize the anticipated expense associated with attendance and describes the benefit you and your company will realize by engaging in sessions designed to help solve the most pressing challenges facing the trucking industry today.
